Cricut Joy Xtra Die-Cutting Machine with Sticker Edition Bundle, White - Walmart Exclusive

I bought my Cricut Joy Xtra with a full package of items and a subscription on a Black Friday whim. Im a Scrapbooker and wanted to be able to make more titles... thats it. Little did I know it would be so easy to use that it gave me unbridled confidence. Why, yes I can make customized thermal wine containers. Why yes I can make custom ephemera. Why yes I can make precise stickers for this exact event. The materials are high quality. I am so glad I bought my Joy Xtra. Oh yah! I do make titles and I use it to journal! Its so great.

This is the perfect machine to leave up on my desk. I do a lot of print-to-cut sticker labels for my micro-business, all on printer-paper size stock. I love my Maker, and I use it regularly. And the Joy Xtra is my go-to when I'm working in that size paper format.

I absolutely Love my baby Cricut!! I've had a Cricut Explore Air for years and haven't used it in a long time, only because it is big, and bulky and hard to find a place to put it to use it. This little Cricut Joy Extra fit the bill. It does everything I need it to and it is so small and takes up such little space! I realized even with my big Cricut, I rarely every made anything that required the bigger/longer mats. The Joy only has an 8.5 x 12 mat (you can do longer if using the Smart materials but I'm using it to make greeting cards) but that is really the only difference. I can cut, foil and use the pens. I love it! (and it's way cheaper!)

wow I love this Cricut Joy Xtra! it is so easy to use, setup is so easy. It connects (bluetooth) without difficulty each time to my laptop and phone. This is my first Cricut, I had only seen in the store so i am super impressed by how easy it is to use. It cuts well and is quiet.

I am so glad I bought this! I'm finding myself using it constantly. The size is perfect and I'm doing tons of print and cut projects. It's so easy to slide it around on my work surface, and it's absolutely ideal for anything involving 8.5x11 paper. (I have an original Maker that's been struggling due to eroded rubber rollers, and I've hardly used it since I got my Joy Xtra.)

It was a learning curve for me. I bought it to only cut out paper ephemera. It's supposed to accept jpegs but it won't accept all of them. Some jpegs have to be resized tp pngs to work. That is frustrating. But I'm adapting. So all i all i like it.

I've used this machine for a few years; it is my go-to for work. I can prep crafts and decorations for my classroom, and I gift machines to others in similar jobs because I find them so useful. I haven't found too many errors in how well it cuts the materials I use.

I've only used it a couple times, I bought it because I needed something small that I could take with me when traveling that would do more than the joy, but it's still a little big and heavy. Wish I would have waited on the new joy2 that would have been perfect.

I really wanted to like this product, but it has issues. It's tricky to get the mat to load correctly and it bends the corners that you have to trim off. I wanted to do alot of stickers on the Xtra but it doesn't cut them good. I have calibrated the machine twice, but it still cuts off. I have tried using the Joy smart paper sticker cardstock on a mat using the Xtra, but it doesn't cut it good at all. I put the pressure to more but that didn't help. When I try to remove the sticker from the sheet, it tears below the sticker and the sticky part of the sticker is left on the mat. I have wasted too much sticker paper to try much more. When I switch to my Maker 3, I don't have the problem. It's frustrating that I can't use the Xtra for what I bought it for, stickers. I need to add that it cuts vinyl just fine.

I'm frustrated. No instructions on how to use design space. I'm at a complete standstill will an expensive machine and I have no clue how to use it. Have tried utube videos but they don't explain in enough detail. Don't know which type of mat to use, how to make something from design space 😩😖😖😖😩
